Ikiwiki seems to recompile markdown to html after every change.  If it
unnecessarily recompiles the *entire* wiki after each edit or if git
is very io intensive, the slowness might be related to the problems in
diskfs.  But still, it seems to excessive to be caused by this alone.

Also just getting to the login page when pressing edit is slow, not
nearly as slow as making a change, but noticeably slower than the
static pages.  So it seems that simply calling the cgi scripts also
takes time.

  Fredrik
